[Mod][3.24.2011] Tweaks for ANY rom

I could bring these out in a rom, but there are just way too many chefs in the Thunderbolt right now. So why not release a package that will tweak your current rom just as much?
What will this package do?
-Enable init.d support for scripts on startup.
-Enable usb debugging on a clean wipe.
-Add adb root at all times.
IO tweak
-Remount your filesystems(system, data, cache) with less overhead, so you can increase our already incredibly inflated IO score in quadrant. Does it increase real world performance? You be the judge.
Minfree tweak
-Will allow you to keep a higher mount of ram free before Android starts cannibalizing apps to free ram.
rw on boot
-Will allow you to boot at all times with system in rw mode. Handy for adb pushing files to system.
ro on boot
-Self explanatory.
How to use:
Flash kernel via HBoot.
Put PG05IMG.zip on sdcard, and with adb type:
adb reboot bootloader
This will boot to fastboot. All you need to do is hit power to enter bootloader, and it will scan the package and ask to load it. You will know if you have the right package if it says boot.
Note: If you do not have busybox installed, use this:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2056318/busybox_1.19_3.zip
Once you have rebooted, take the second package and flash it via clockwork.
When you reboot, all tweaks will be applied for filesystem and minfree. To use rw at boot time:
In adb or terminal emulator, type:
rw_boot (will require you to type su beforehand if in terminal emulator.)
Next reboot will be rw.
For ro:
ro_boot (same thing, type su first if using terminal emulator.)
Next boot will be ro.
In regards to the two above scripts, do not worry if either gives a file not found error. It will still work.
Extra scripts:
sysrw --mounts system as rw.
sysro --mounts system as ro.
Tweaks that did not make the cut:
SD card speed tweak:
I see a lot of rom cooks adding this, but lets face it, HTC added this tweak in before the phone was shipped. I checked. No need to reapply the same thing again. Right, guys? *crickets*
Framework speed up by removing transitions:
Framework isn't eye candy.
Zipalign every boot
Apks can be zipaligned only once. No point in doing this every boot.
Download kernel:
http://www.mediafire.com/?ob2i992sza9y260
Download cwr package with scripts:
http://www.mediafire.com/?7u69f950indjiqe
I will be adding more as time goes on.

good work bud this is gonna be usuful for a lot of people. =)

Sorry for the noobish question but what does "adb root at all times" mean? If I've done the whole rooting process aren't I fully rooted?

Every time i see adryn post something new i pee a little. Guys we are a week in today and already have some great devs.

Yes, you're fully rooted - which is to say, you have the ability to su and become root - very little that is running is actually running as root.
If you're running stock kernel, when you adb shell, you'll get a $ prompt ... i.e. you're not root yet, but can become so with a quick su. (Oh, and SuperUser will pop up asking you to allow it.) Nothing you do via the adb command (push, pull, etc) happens as root.
If you're running the patched kernel, when you adb shell, you'll get a # prompt ... i.e. you're root now. (No SuperUser prompt either.) Everything you do via adb (push/pull) happens as root.
Point being: yup, you're root'd - but you ain't root until you're root

I will apply this in my next update and will be standard in all my roms. If that's okay with u

fast boot, or fastboot?
fastboot is a feature of hboot, not the kernel.
fast boot is buggy and only works on wifi or 4G. NOT 3G.

Is there any reason why we couldnt flash the pg05img through CWR?

Other than it not being setup for cwr, and cwr doesn't work to flash kernels yet?
No.

Is it already in your rom?

[SOLVED] Not enough RAM in Swiftdroid and Joestone's Gingerbread.

Hey,
So, I checked out both Swiftdroid 2.0 M6 and Joestone's AOSP Gingerbread 2.3.2. I've always noted that even though both these ROMs are noticeably faster, they still lagged while switching apps or when multiple apps at the same time when compared to the stock 2.1.
When I was playing around with Advanced Task Killer, I was surprised to find out that the native 2.1 has around 80-90MB of free RAM after you kill all appslisted by default in Advanced Task Killer. When you try the same thing in Swiftdroid, it gives only 40MB of RAM. And, Joestone's version gives only 60MB.
This is another proof that benchmarks are not everything. Real life performance is difference from benchmark scores.
Is there's a way to increase the free RAM?
I saw a 2.2 ROM which had around 110MB free RAM. But, it was the only one. No other choices. I tried odexing Joe's gingerbread but it didn't give the boost I wanted.
Perhaps Mur4ik can create another modified KDZ? Is it possible to reallocate the NAND chip such that there's more RAM?
Am curious. When you increase SWAP too much, the phone becomes sluggish. Why do you guys try to push the swap to SD while you can create it in internal memory which has better access speeds?
Update
Solutions:
You can try,
Odexing the ROM for more free RAM
Editing the minfree using Auto Memory Manager
SuperChargerv6 Script to modify minfree and apply some more tweaks.
You can use Autostarts to prevent unused widgets from updating and prevent unnecassary apps from starting automatically
You can use swap. Slightly slow but a great alternative

I fully agree more ram more zipaligning more compression = better rom 2.6.29 is stable m6 is good if m7 keeps same kernel and keeps these thing's in mind we will all be happy

It was like you said. I got upto 80MB free in Advanced Task Killer after clearing the dalvik cache.
I like to upload an odexed version for recovery but my internet is slow and would take around 4 hours for an upload(assuming the upload doesn't break). So, instead, I'll put together the scripts I used for odexing and instructions to odex by tonight.

Maybe it's because swiftdroid (or any others 2.1+ rom) keeps some apps unkillable. Maybe like home launcher, messaging, dialer, etc can't be close using task killer. Don't know for sure though, I don't have problems switching apps.
N remember, u don't need task killer in 2.1+ roms, well except for gaming when u need all the horse power and for kill "naughty" apps which I prefer to kill via running service.
And no, u can't put swap in nand (internal storage) because it's irreplaceable and the highly usage of it because of swap can reduce its lifetime. As far as I know, gt540 has different chip for ram which has to be more durable than the nand

I know that we don't need a Task Killer even in pre-2.1. Android's memory management is pretty good. But, sometimes, the phone acts dumb trying to be smarter than us. xD
I used Task Killer as a measure to see how much memory I could get with default settings. Advanced Task Killer ignores Launcher, core, phone etc by default.
Putting swap on internal shouldn't shorten its life that much. Usually, the internal NAND is pretty good. They usually have the quality of RAM rather than that of SD. And, both the RAM and ROM are NAND. NAND is an architecture. It basically uses NAND transistors.

here's i think it's the best way:
create swap partition in ur sdcard. best way (for me) is to create it via recovery (cwm). dont forget to backup ur sdcard first.
then type in cmd (or terminal emulator):
Code:
adb shell (or su if in terminal emulator)
echo "#!/system/bin/sh" >> /data/local/userinit.sh
echo "swapon /dev/block/mmcblk0p3" >> /data/local/userinit.sh
chmod 0755 /data/local/userinit.sh
mmcblk0p3 means the swap partition is in 3rd partition (fat partition, ext, and then swap, if u dont have swap (fat then swap partition only) use mmcblk0p2
reboot, then type "free" in terminal emulator.
u can use swapper though (by making swap partition first, then configured swapper to use it), the advantage is u can configure the swappiness (number of file that goes to swap), but for me, swapper taking some amount of ram, and i think it's not good.

Is it possible to give mybe little more simplified instructions think I stuffed it up so did a wipe and going to try again also mur4iks custom kdz rom the partition one is it best to install that first? Or will swap be fine without it
Sent from my GT540 using XDA App

Use swapper 2 from market. Use mini partition tool to create a swap partition in your SD. Search around. You'll find plenty of resources. SWAP would not modify system. Only the SD. It is not a matter which ROM as long as they support swap. If you are on swiftdroid, toto settings > cyanogenmod settings > performance.

[Q] The correct order of things to updrade the phone?

So I'm confused; what is the correct order to start upgrading your Huawei u8800? Which is the thing to start with? From what i gathered, the first thing is to do a backup and the best way to do it is with Clockworkmod, but when i check CWM page here on XDA, it says root requiered. Ultimate Guide to Huawei U8800 says that i can root the phone with Super Boot, so should i just go with that and worry about backup later? What if i screw my phone up and don't have a backup? Then is the part of selecting a proper ROM, and i think that i'm interested in the most stable one, so wich one i should go with (oh, and a circular battery with a presentage would be nice) custom or just a firmware update? And the Re-Partition mentioned in MoDaCos Ultimate Guide to Huawei U8800, does it also require a root?
Sorry for the n00b questions, but well, i am one.

I would recommend upgrading to stock ROMs first, but in order to install a custom ROM, you need both root and recovery mod. These 2 functions are being are done from the "shadow" memory, using 2 img files (boot.img and recovery.img).
To access that memory and replace the 2 files follow these steps:
1) Download the boot file and rename it to boot.img ( should be "boot.u8800-modaco-superboot-r1") from here:
http://android.modaco.com/content/h...nd-then-some-for-the-huawei-u8800-ideos-x5/om here the zip file (rename if not called that recovery.img).
2) Download and extract the recovery file (extract.zip) from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14870348
3) Turn off your phone and unplug the usb cable. Make sure you have enough battery (at least 50%).
2) Turn on your phone, holding VOL+, VOL- and POWER (should come up with pink screen, to indicate access to shadow memory)
3) Connect the usb cable and the driver should install (don't worry if it says drivers not found, the partition called "image" should still be accessible)
4) Browse your phone to find the folder with boot.img and recovery.img. Copy these 2 files somewhere on your computer, to create a backup of the original files. Now, replace both files with the ones you've downloaded.
5) Remove the battery from the phone to exit "shadow" memory.
To access the recovery mod, press VOL+ and Power, while the phone is off.
I hope this helps...

It does help, thanks! The rooting AND the recovery installation are done simultaneously. But i still have few conserns. Does this all work backwards? I mean in the case of hardware breakage - if i am giving the phone back to maintenance - can i just re-replace the original boot.img and recovery.img and thus "unroot" the phone? Previously recovering backupped data? Is the phone then as it were before whole prosidure?

Yes, replacing all things you done with stock will by default revert it to normal.

Right. One more thing, though this is a bit beside the subject. The re-partitioning, when upgraded from 600mb to 1.2G, does this actually add space for running apps or gives only more installation space?

Yes it gives both actual space for installation. Running apps will always be loaded into ram and swap.

So RAM is its own thing and separate from (ROM?) the increasable space? But what is the actual gain IN increasing it? More apps in the phone? But I've read that the phone gets all cluttered and buggy, if its full of apps. Is this the gain in re-partitioning?

Where have you read that?
The thing is huawei included a external storage(build in SD card) which had the size of 2GB, and internal storage at 600MB, with geno's partition flash you just change the partitions, the 600MB becomes external storage, and the 2GB(1.2GB data) becomes internal storage. So we gain rather than lose storage. So I have used it for now quite and not experienced any problem.
Please link me up on where you found out this cluttered and buggy thing with this ok?

I think that I accidentally misled you on this. It was some SGS(maybe) thread that I read sometime ago. The talk was about phone being laggy and probable cause that it was full of apps. So I kinda gathered that if any android phone is stuffed full of applications, it gets slow. But I guess I am wrong?

Aha, well if the phone gets sluggish is because swap and ram is being used and less free for other processes. You could make it similar to any OS. I have tried once with this phone filled it up had 6mb left wasn't sluggish at.

So if I have still 389mb phone memory left free, re-partitioning isn't really acute procedure for me?

The partition thing will work independently, only thing it does is formatting the external storage(2GB) and then moves all your data on to the 2GB internal SD and that's it. You can do this if you feel like you need lots of space for apps ok?

Yes, I understand. And since I still have lots of free space left, I think I save this for later. Thanks for explaining this to me. Oh jeah, what custom ROM would you recommend? Preferably one that has all its bugs smoothed out?

Well, the superuser application is there for applications who require root access to make changes and such thing, so if you were to use SetCPU, noAds or Titanium Backup, they will require access from superuser(root). So don't worry, it works but you need something that demands root access to see anything happen !

And yet more questions. Is there a way to upgrade the touch screen? I mean to up the number of simultaneous touches from two to more?

How to get more /datadata storage!?

Running Trigger Redux 13
I had 173 in total and after installing my apps (232) it comes down to 1.55 mb
I delete the folders but come back after rebooting.
I find it that I have to delete apps to keep the phone running without forceclosing.
It is weird because the TW roms never do that. Only AOSP roms
Don't know why.

I have 211 user apps and cm7 doesn't force close on me? Neither does miui. Why would you need more /datadata space?

Folders will always re-appear unless you delete the actual app that its creating them or if is part of the OS you don't wanna be deleting them even if they are empty. If Im getting this right your talking about your internal (app) storage partition in your phone right (iow not the internal/external sd). There are only a few things you could do to get a little more storage space in there but some u gotta do it at ur own risk. 1-reboot to recovery and wipe catche & dalvik catche. 2-Remove bloatware or any other app u dont really use (u sure u wanna keep that fart app?) via Titanium Backup am make sure u wipe data b4 removing them (search & read what systems app ur safe to remove k)and then re-do step 1. 3-Using a file manager (like Astro or Root Explorer) go to data/data folder and delete any leftover folders from apps you uninstalled (VERY RISKY!!! You really gotta know what ur doing cuz the apps name and the com." ". " " folder name sometimes wont be the same so I DO NOT recommend it but its here as a fyi).
...and another note: not sure about u but when Dolphin Browser HD went 5.0 I had to let it go cuz it was slow and it FC on me a couple of times so I had to say bye to it and now I'm happy with Firefox.

Wait so when I delete an app the /datadata folder still has the app folder.?
So for every app I uninstall I have to go into the/datadata older and delete that file.

I've noticed that some files will stay there after you uninstall SOME apps (i.e. angry birds), not all of them.

The /datadata issue is a huge PITA! I dont understand why it only affects some people and others dont have the issue. I have to monitor my phones /datadata folder because once it gets around 85% usage, my phone gets wonky. I NEVER had to worry about this pre-GB ROM.

Oh yes, very annoying. Even when moving apptosd it stills gives force closes. I gave up. My solution, have less Apps.

I already investigated this months back. They put datadata in its own partition to fix performance issues. The tradeoff is the datadata partition is smaller than the default internal app partition.

How many times have you observed this?
There is little basis to believe it's a bug if it a one time glitch.

How often is it happening?
What were the most recent two apps installed?
Reboot to recovery mode and wipe the cache partition.
If the issue still persists, do a logcat
Install a terminal emulator app and then type these commands to produce a system log file for us to troubleshoot with.
Code:
$ su
# logcat > /sdcard/logcat.txt
